Definitions
- the present invention relates to methods for moving a tunnel from a first serving node of a GPRS system (General Packet Radio Service) to a second.
- GPRS system General Packet Radio Service
- Moving a tunnel is necessary if a mobile device that uses the tunnel in question changes from the catchment area of the first serving node to that of the second. This change results in a RAU (Routing Area Update), in the course of which data about the PDP context of the terminal device is passed on from the first to the second serving node.
- RAU Recording Area Update
- This data is transmitted in the form of messages according to the GTP protocol (GPRS tunnel protocol). Messages of the GTP protocol are used, among other things, to set up and tear down PDP contexts and to pass on PDP contexts in the case of routing area updates.
- the data transmitted between the two serving nodes enables the second serving node to contact a gateway node and from there to obtain the required complete information about the context which enables it to switch the GTP tunnel so that the service for the terminal can continue without interruption.
- GTP version 1 also known as Release 98 or 97, in GSM 09.60
- GTP version 1 also referred to as Release 99, in the aforementioned publication TS 23.060.
- the standardization of version 1 requires that nodes according to version 1 should be able to work with those according to version 0 and that the GTP tunnels are operated with the highest possible version.
- the messages each have an identifier in the header that enables the assignment to the respective version.
- Messages created according to version 1 cannot be interpreted by nodes that work according to version 0 or older standardizations.
- a version 1 node must therefore be able to create either version 1 or version 0 messages, depending on the GTP version a node to which it is sending messages.
- Version 0 uses so-called tunnel identifiers, abbreviated TIDs, which are transmitted as part of the message and are composed of the IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) and the NSAPI (Network Layer Service Access Point Identifier).
- IMSI International Mobile Subscriber Identity
- NSAPI Network Layer Service Access Point Identifier
- the IMSI is the worldwide unique identification number of a participant; the NSAPI references one of several PDP contexts that can be assigned to the participant. Since the tunnel identifiers with a length of 12 bytes are rather unwieldy, so-called flow labels with a length of 2 bytes are used in their place, which enable messages to be quickly assigned to a context. However, the flow labels are not necessarily assigned clearly because they only 65,000 and have significantly more contexts per node.
- the flow labels are assigned when a GTP tunnel is activated; each node involved in a tunnel informs the opposite node of the flow label with which it wants to receive subsequent messages on this tunnel or, which is synonymous for this PDP context.
- the flow label For the first message that is sent from a serving node to a gateway node during the establishment of a tunnel (Create PDP Context Request), the flow label is set to 0 because the gateway node has not yet been able to assign a flow label, and the tunnel identifier is transmitted; all subsequent messages in this tunnel must be sent with the flow label assigned by the gateway node.
- two flow labels are assigned, one for signaling and one for data. In the following, however, only the flow label for signaling is considered.
- TEID tunnel Endpoint Identifier
- IMSI and NSAPI which enable the message to be clearly assigned to a PDP context, are only contained in the first message (Create PDP Context Request) from the serving node to the gateway node.
- both versions of the GTP work perfectly. Standardization requires that a node for version 1 also support GTP version 0, ie it is backwards compatible. This is required lent so nodes of different versions can work together.
- the mobile subscriber moves from a first serving node according to version 0 to a second serving according to version 1.
- GTP version 0 must be used for the communication of the first serving node with the second and with the gateway node; the communication between the gateway node and the second serving node takes place according to version 1.
- the teway node to a flow label, which is used by the first serving node to identify messages belonging to the tunnel.
- the two serving nodes contact to prepare for the relocation of the tunnel, they communicate according to version 0, and the first serving node supplies the second with the flow label that was originally assigned to the tunnel by the gateway node.
- the second serving node In order to receive the necessary context data of the tunnel from the gateway node, the second serving node should be able to send a message with this flow label to the gateway node. However, the second serving node and the gateway node communicate according to version 1, which does not allow the transfer of flow labels. Instead of the flow label, a TEID according to version 1 could be transmitted, but one is not defined in the gateway node for the tunnel. The gateway node can therefore not assign a message according to GTP version 1 to the existing channel. Since the message “Update PDP Context Request * contains neither IMSI nor NSAPI, the gateway node is not able to find the context even if it ignores the TEID.
- the mobile radio subscriber moves from a first serving node according to version 1 to one according to version 0.
- GTP version 1 is used for the communication between the first serving node and the gateway node in the course of setting up the tunnel been, ie a TEID has been set for the tunnel, but no flow label.
- GTP version 0 must be used for communication between the two serving nodes, but this only allows flow labels.
- Transferring nodes does not exist, and even if it existed, it could not process them.
- the second serving node therefore has no way of finding out the flow labels with which it could request the required context data from the gateway node.
- the mobile subscriber moves from a serving node according to version 1 to another of the same version, but the gateway node works according to version 0.
- the serving nodes communicate with each other according to version 1, but with the gateway node according to version 0.
- the gateway node thus assigns a flow label when a tunnel is set up, but this cannot be transferred from the first to the second node, so that it cannot query the context information from the gateway node.
- the object of the invention is to provide methods for relocating a tunnel from a first serving node of a GPRS system to a second, which also function if at least one version 0 node exists between the serving node and the gateway node and others are after version 1 of the GTP protocol.
- the task is solved by a method according to claim 1.
- the request to adapt the context, which the second serving node directs to the gateway node contains an indication of the IMSI and NSAPI of the tunnel in question.
- This specification allows the gateway node to establish a clear correspondence to a stored context and thus to deliver the required context data to the second node.
- the required specification of IMSI and NSAPI can be transmitted in a very simple manner by the second serving node and the gateway node continuing to operate the tunnel established under version 0 of the GTP protocol under the same protocol version.
- the request to be sent from the second node to the gateway node contains Adaptation of the context, the message "Update PDP Context Request", this required information from the start.
- This solution thus means that the protocol which the second serving node uses when communicating with the gateway node depends on the history of the tunnel to which the exchanged messages belong.
- Such control of the version used can be implemented in a simple manner if the first serving node first sends a message initiating the tunneling process (SGSN Context Response) to the second serving node, the second serving node the version of this message for its request to adapt the Context used at the gateway node and this replies to all messages addressed to him in the version in which he received them.
- SGSN Context Response a message initiating the tunneling process
- the second node sends a message of the type "Create PDP Context Request * according to version 1" instead of the conventional message "Update PDP Context Request *" as a request to adapt the tunnel.
- This message is processed correctly by the receiving gateway node in accordance with the above-cited document TS 29.060, ie the existing PDP context is found again and the changed parameters are replaced. In this way, the tunnel to the second serving node is relocated and the version changed.
- the message “Update PDP Context Request * can also be sent with a TEID that has the value 0, and which, in addition to the information elements provided in accordance with TS 23.060, additionally contains IMSI and NSAPI for assignment to enable the corresponding PDP context in the gateway node.
- the object is achieved by the method according to claim 5, in which a flow label, the second serving node and the gateway node need, in order to be able to switch the tunnel from the first to the second serving node, the second is made available by the first serving node.
- the gateway node is a version 1 node, ie the channel was set up according to version 1, then the tunnel is only one when it is set up
- a first variant provides that the first serving node assigns the context a flow label with a value which is specific for the redirection of a tunnel from a serving node according to version 1 to a serving node according to version 0, that is to say which is different from all Flow labels that are used for communication between nodes that work according to version 0.
- the second serving node can react to the receipt of such a specific flow label by instead of a message “Update PDP Context Request *, which it would normally send to the gateway node if it receives a correct flow label from a first serving node of the received the same version would have sent a message "Create PDP Context Request * to the gateway node, which contains IMSI and NSAPI and thus allows a clear identification of the context to be adapted at the gateway node.
- Such a procedure is possible because the existing standard does not provide any PDP update requests with flow label 0 and their processing is therefore not standardized.
- a second variant of the method which can also be used if the gateway node operates according to version 1 and the second serving node operates according to version 0, provides that the gateway node has every context established by the first serving node according to version 1 not only assigns a TEID, but at the same time has a defined procedure according to which it can assign a flow label to every context established according to Version 1 or more precisely its TEID.
- every context established according to GTP version 1 corresponds to a TEID and a flow label.
- the gateway node can expediently take the resulting flow labels into account when assigning TEIDs in the sense that an effective identification of contexts is possible on the basis of the flow labels.
- the same procedure is also available to the first serving node.
- the first serving node can immediately determine the correct value of the flow label using the method and make it available to the second serving node, by means of which the gateway node can identify the PDP context.
- the second serving node can the gateway node in the address in the same way as if it had received the tunnel from a serving node after version 0.
- a preferred, because particularly simple, method for assigning the flow label to a TEID is to equate the flow label with the two least significant bytes of the TEID. If, however, the gateway node is a version 0 node and the two serving nodes are version 1 nodes, the assignment of a flow label to the tunnel is already done
- the flow label does not fill in the TEID field, it is advantageously possible to use the remaining space in the TEID field for the transmission of a predetermined value, which otherwise does not occur in one TEID and on which the second
- serving nodes can therefore recognize that the transmitted value is not a TEID, but rather a “packaged * flow label” and can accordingly process the value correctly.
- a predetermined value can e.g. 0.
- FIGS. 1 to 3 show the possible constellations in the transfer of a tunnel between two serving nodes with the participation of two nodes according to GTP version 1 and one node according to version 0;
- FIGS. 4 to 6 show the sequence of signaling when the tunnel is handed over in the various constellations.
- the first serving node SGSN1 via which the tunnel of the terminal MS was originally set up, is a node according to GTP version 0; it communicates with the gateway node GGSN and the second serving node SGSN2 according to GTP version 0, ie the exchanged messages are identified by flow label and TEID.
- the gateway node GGSN and the second serving node SGSN2 communicate with one another according to version 1 with messages identified by TEIDs.
- FIG. 4 shows the signaling sequence between a terminal MS and the three nodes SGSN1, SGSN2 and GGSN on the one hand when activating a PDP context and on the other hand when moving the GTP tunnel.
- Messages in GTP version 0 are represented by lean arrows, messages according to version 1 by bold arrows.
- Messages that are not exchanged between nodes and are therefore not bound to the GTP protocol, such as messages exchanged with the terminal MS, are shown in dashed lines.
- step 1 the terminal MS sends a request to activate a PDP context (Activate PDP Context Request) to the SGSN0, which, among other things, specifies the NSAPI and the type or quality of the desired service.
- PDP context Activate PDP Context Request
- the SGSN1 node then sends a request “Create PDP Context Request * according to PDP version 0 to the gateway node GGSN, in which the IMSI and NSAPI are communicated to the gateway node (step 2).
- the gateway node then creates a new entry in its PDP context table, which allows it to route data packets of the terminal MS between the SGSN1 and an external PDP network, not shown in the figures, and to calculate and charge to him a flow label.
- step 3 he sends a message “Create PDP Context Response * back to the first serving node SGSNl, which is the assigned flow label contains.
- the first serving node in turn confirms the establishment of the context to the terminal MS by a message “Activate PDP Context Accept * (step 4).
- the SGSN1 is able to identify data packets of the terminal MS that belong to the newly established context so that the gateway node GGSN them from the data packets of other terminals or from other contexts associated data packets of the same terminal can distinguish.
- the process of moving a tunnel begins with the terminal in step 5 sending a "Routing Area Update Request *" to the second serving node SGSN2.
- This SGSN2 node works according to GTP version 1.
- step 6 With a message “SGSN Context Request * according to GTP version 0 (step 6), he first announces to the first serving node SGSN1 that the context is to be transferred; the SGSN1 confirms this with a message “SGSN Context Response * (step 7) and begins to buffer data packets coming from the PDP network and intended for the subscriber station MS. After the newly serving node SGSN2 has confirmed its readiness to take over data by a message “SGSN Context Aeknowledge *, the node SGSN1 forwards the buffered data packets in step 9 to the node SGSN2.
- the gateway node GGSN In order to ensure that data packets intended for the subscriber station MS are no longer routed to SGSN1, but rather directly to the new serving node SGSN2, the gateway node GGSN must be informed of the change. This is done by a request to adapt the context, which is sent in step 10 from the SGSN2 to the gateway node GGSN. While in the case of the transfer of a context from a serving node of the same version, the request to adapt the context would be a message “Update PDP Context Request *, in the case considered here, the second serving node uses a message of the type as a request
- the gateway node If the gateway node has successfully carried out this operation, it confirms this in step 11 to the new SGSN2 with a message which can be of the type “Create PDP Context Response * or“ Update PDP Context Response *.
- a message of the type" Up- date PDP Context Request * can be applied.
- This modified message contains a TEID with the value 0 and IMSI and NSAPI of the terminal MS.
- the second serving node for the update request of step 10 chooses the GTP version in which it received the message “SGSN Context Aeknowledge *” in step S7, in this case version 0. In this way if it issues itself to the GGSN as the version 0 node for the context in question, it can identify the context to be adapted by specifying a flow label, and it also receives version 0 response messages from the gateway node. In this way, the context is changed to the new serving nodes SGSN2 correctly assigned, even if the GTP version used remains the same.
- a second method for moving the tunnel from the first serving node GGSN1 to the second GGSN2 differs from the signaling sequence shown in FIG. 4 in that the second serving node also uses version 0 in step 10 for its request to update the context in which it already received the flow label of the tunnel in step 7.
- the gateway node also replies to this in step 11 using version 0. This means that although second serving node SGSN2 and gateway node GGSN version 1, they do so using sion 0 tunnel continued using version 0.
- FIG. 2 shows a configuration in which a first node SGSN1 according to GTP version 1, a gateway node GGSN according to GTP version 1 and a second serving node SGSN2 according to version 0 communicate with one another.
- the first serving node SGSN1 and the gateway node GGSN use among themselves those identified by tunnel endpoint identifier TEID
- Version 1 messages the two serving nodes SGSN1 and SGSN2 use messages identified by flow labels and TEID according to Version 0.
- the tunnel shown in FIG. 5 corresponds to that of FIG. 4.
- the GTP versions used for the different messages again indicated by thick and thin arrows, are different.
- the context requirement “Create PDP Context Request *” and the answer to it in steps 2 and 3 correspond to those in their objective of Figure 4, but with the difference that GTP version 1 is used for them and that, as a result, the gateway node GGSN assigns a tunnel endpoint identifier TEID to the context and reports this back to the first serving node SGSN1.
- this message would contain in its information element (IE) “PDP Context * a flow label assigned by the gateway node to the first serving node for this context. Since such a flow label does not exist here, a flow label is instead calculated in the first serving node according to a predetermined method from the TEID assigned by the gateway node GGSN.
- a particularly simple method for calculating the flow label is to use the two least significant bytes of a TEID as the flow label and to neglect the two more significant ones.
- This flow label is used by the second serving node SGSN2 in its request to the gateway node in step 10 for context adaptation. Since the gateway node GGSN knows the method according to which the first serving node GGSN1 generates flow labels from TEIDs, it can easily receive a small number from the second serving node when the corresponding flow label is received in a request for context update in step 10 identify contexts in its directory that may be affected by the update. It is then easily possible to determine the actual victims among these.
- Another way of updating the context is to use flow labels with the value 0, similar to that described above with reference to FIG. 4. Because flow labels with otherwise not assigned this value or at most used by a serving node according to version 0 in messages of the type "Create PDP Context Request *, for which a flow label of the tunnel is not yet known at the time the message is sent, the Gateway node GGSN, when it receives a message with such a flow label with the value 0 from the second serving node SGSN2, conclude that the flow label cannot have been assigned by itself and that an assignment of the message to one is therefore made Tunnels must be neglected with the flow label and using the transmitted identification information, that is, the IMSI and NSAPI of the terminal device contained in the TID in the header of the message.
- GTP version 0 an addition to GTP version 0 can be provided, in which the second serving node SGSN2 sends a message of the type “Create PDP Context Request *” when it receives a message from the first serving node with the flow label set to 0.
- both serving nodes SGSNl and SGSN2 are nodes according to GTP version 1 and the gateway node GGSN is a node according to version 0.
- the construction of the tunnel and its transfer from the first serving node SGSNl to the second SGSN2 are shown in FIG. 6.
- the construction of the tunnel in steps 1 to 4 proceeds in exactly the same way as described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 4.
- the two operating nodes must apply version 1 to each other.
- the first serving node SGSN1 adds two higher order bytes to the format of a TEID, which is transmitted to the second node SGSN2 in step 7 (SGSN Context Response).
- SGSN Context Response two messages shown as dashed arrows in FIG. 6 are then exchanged:
- the SGSN node sends a version 1 context adaptation request (Update PDP Context Request) to the gateway node GGSN. Since this only supports version 0, it signals the second node SGSN2 (step 10 ") that it cannot process the request.
- the second node then recognizes that the gateway node needs a version 0 message with a flow label , and then creates a new request in step 10, this time after version 0, into which it inserts the two lower-order bytes of the TEID received from the first node SGSNl as a flow label.
- the first serving node SGSN1 uses two bytes with a predetermined value in order to expand the flow label assigned to the tunnel to the format of a TEID.
- This specified value here 0, should then not be assigned during the normal generation of a PDP context of version 1, so that the second serving node SGSN2 can recognize from the value of these 2 bytes that it is in step 7 in the format of a TEID information transmitted to it is actually a flow label, restores it and can therefore select the version 0 message format that can be interpreted by the gateway node GGSN from the start for the request to update the context in step 10.
- the version used by the second serving node SGSN2 for the update request is not determined by the latter in a dialog between the second node SGSN2 and gateway node GGSN, but is determined by the version of the SGSN Context Response message, this is suitable Variant also for the case already mentioned above, that a tunnel that originally established between a serving node SGSN 1 according to version 0 and a version 1 GGSN and then switched to a second serving node SGSN2 according to version 1 while maintaining the protocol version originally used for the tunnel at a third serving node according to version 1.
- the context information to be transmitted in step 7 can also be expanded such that both flow labels and TEID can be transported, each identified as such. This can be done by adding an additional data field to the context information that the flow label contains, so that, if known, both TEID and flow label can be transferred to the second serving node SGSN2. It is also conceivable to add a simple flag, the status of which indicates the content of the TEID field of a message as a TEID or as a flow label. This means that the range of values for TEID is not restricted.
- This third variant is also suitable for relocating a tunnel operated under version 0 to a third serving node according to version 1.
- a fourth option is to use GTP version 0 between the serving nodes.
- the second serving node GGSN2 starts the dialogue with the first node SGSNl with GTP version 1, which the first node (SGSNl) understands; he would normally have to answer with GTP version 1.
- the first node SGSN1 does not "understand” the GTP version 1 message, it causes the second serving node SGSN2 to use version 0, so that the flow label can be transmitted.
- This variant also allows the relocation of a Version-O tunnel while maintaining the version at a third serving node.
